The match was played on PNU1, which was in perfect condition, on a lovely evening for hurling. The good crowd was treated to a fast, no quarters asked championship game. The first half was a tight affair with the teams even at 5 points on the 15th minute. We pulled away to lead at half time 0-11 to 0-8.

Ballyboden started the second half well with a very early goal to bring the sides back level. The remaining 26 minutes were very tight with very little space, time or scores. The final score was 0-17 to 1-14, a draw. This gives us a win and two draws in the round robin. We have matches against O`Tooles and Kilmacud left to play in the round robin Man of the match was Willie Lowry had his best game in about four years.
